King Cobra

Throw bigger tires and more suspension travel into the mix, and factory axles start feeling the pressure long before the rest of the machine is ready to quit, which is exactly where King Cobra steps in. Its heavy-duty axles take Cobra's in-house manufacturing approach further, delivering a substantial strength upgrade over OEM shafts without the premium price tag. Built for lifted UTVs and ATVs, these axles help transfer power through deep ruts, uneven trails, and demanding terrain. Factory shafts have limited room for increased operating angles and rotational stress, especially when oversized tires push beyond the original suspension design. King Cobra answers with heavy-duty construction typically recommended for tires up to 7 inches larger than the OEM base-model tire size, plus high-performance VENOM CV grease as standard. Cobra's in-house manufacturing allows certain fitment modifications and repairs, while King Cobra axles offered for the Can-Am Defender HD11 Long Travel Kit include a 1-year limited $50 replacement warranty. Bigger tires demand stronger hardware, and King Cobra gives riders the confidence to put that extra clearance to work.
